Comment: This medication changed my life. I was failing out of school because I was so depressed I just couldn't get out of bed to go to class. After taking this medication for three months I became a straight A student.
For the first week or so I was on this medication I had a headache, and if I miss a dose I get a headache. That has been my only problem with this medication.

Comment:I took this drug for 4 days. On the fourth day I noticed a decrease in appetite and a bit of jitteriness. I thought I might lose some weight! That night I had a total meltdown. While lying in bed trying to fall alseep, for no apparent reason I had the worst anxiety attack I have ever had. I had the most horrifying and disturbing thoughts - things I am not capable of doing to those I love. My husband sat up with me until I was finally able to sleep. I stopped taking the drug immediately and felt better in a day or two. It was extremely scary - felt like a "bad trip" I had once as a teen. I won't take another anti depressant after that. I don't know how drugs like this help people. Hide Full Comment

Comment: Well when takin alone, this stuff really works. I tried every other drug before this one, and I must say this was the easiest for me to adapt to in regards to side effects.

Comment:Well when takin alone, this stuff really works. I tried every other drug before this one, and I must say this was the easiest for me to adapt to in regards to side effects. However I was also givin Lorazepam with it which I ended up abusing and then even using alcohol and marijuana on top of it. My advice would be to just take the bupropron sr alone with nothing else. Alcohol and marijuana do not mix well with this. I was feeling great after two weeks of taking this med but then started smoking pot again, and within 2 days I was back to my depressed self. I stopped the lorazepam because I felt tired all the time and bupropion is supposed to make me wired, not tired. So in the end, I realized to get better, I would have to ditch all my bad habits, and subtitute them with this drug, bupropion. If you smoke pot or drink or do any other kinda narcotics, I would suggest not doing them at all if you truly want to get the full benefit of this medication. Hide Full Comment
